For those of you who haven't been made aware that this code exists, many NPCs now require certain items.

Let me use a mechanic for instance. The mechanic needs a mechanic toolbelt. If they find themselves without one and you ask them if there is anything you can find for them they will tell you what they need.

Anyone, can bring them this item. Hand it to them just like a scavenger, except that if you bring it after they will no longer want it.

Gangers also require weapons at all times, and DRUGS. Different gangers want different drugs and they actually CONSUME the drugs over time so you can sell them more down the line.

This is great code for drug dealers and small time fixers. There is no limit on how many different gangers you can sell stuff to in a day, at least not right now. However we may impose one if people start getting rich off this shit.

The best part about this code is that it keeps NPCs equipped with items they NEED without a GM having to do it, and they keep chy in the pockets of the players at the same time.

Give it a try. It's just like scavenger code except with specific items each time.

I have modified this code so that when you ask an NPC if they are looking for anything they will give you a more complete list of the things they are looking for, instead of just telling you one thing.

I noticed people were asking NPCs multiple times what they were looking for in order to get a better idea. Now you only need to ask once.

I have also fixed the code so that NPCs actually use the drugs you sell them and wear the clothes you give them. It was borked before. Within a day or two all the NPCs should be out of drugs so.. start selling that shit!

I think that this feature, espically the element of them buying and USING the things you sell them is one of the coolest things added to the game in recent times. More comments on that to come as I use it more.

Are there any NPC's that will ask for firearms? Possibly 1 or 2 in particular that in turn sell them, or somehow get rid of them so that they also want more from time to time. If they bought at a rate that was slightly higher than places you can buy firearms, or prices to buy firearms were slightly lowered at automated places to obtain them it could work along the lines of the sales of drugs and other items as far as that sort of thing goes.

Hey all,

It was brought to my attention that some drugs were not being bought by gangers. mainly the smokable ones.

That has been fixed. There are now NPCs that buy Jackel Pipes, Humbolt Bubblers and HP-2.

It's up to you all to find them though. These NPCs also look for certain weapons as well.Slither
